It definitely depends on my mood, the moment, and the weather, but my all-time favorite, go-to beer is Real Ale Brewing Company's Fireman's #4. It's the perfect balance of lots of flavor without being too heavy.

Now that I say that, I'm second-guessing myself, particularly with all of the delicious Belgians out there. But no, that's what I'm sticking with. Fireman's #4. Wish we could get it here in Tennessee without bootlegging it.

I recently discovered a new to me craft brew company; 21st Amendment. They have cans, which is strange for a craft brew, but... I have tried three of their beers.

1. Black IPA, which is a stout with the hops of an IPA. I was surprised that I liked this, since I don't generally like stouts. It was more like an IPA than a stout, but you could definitely taste the stout flavors, although mild. The initial flavor is a chocolate stout fallowed by the strong citrus of hops.

2. Brew Free or Die IPA. This is a standard IPA with 6 different hops. I believe the hops used are the same as those in the Black IPA, maybe with a couple more types. This beer has a nice citrusness from the hops. This is my new goto IPA, mostly because of the $10 per six pack.

3. Hell or High Watermelon. I had the most hope for this beer, however it really just tasted like an American Pilsner with watermelon rind in it. It was okay, but a bit disappointing for me. I think I just expected too much out of this beer. The initial flavor is a distinct flavor of watermelon rind (the white portion) followed by a wheat flavor. The part that was disappointing to me was that the beer flavor was too mild for me. I think watermelon in beer has real potential.
